A headline price only tells you part of the story. What actually matters is what’s named in your written treatment plan, since that’s what determines whether accommodation, aftercare, and your guarantee are already covered, or things you’ll be asked to arrange and pay for separately. Here’s exactly what’s included at DRA Dental, and where the ambiguity usually creeps in elsewhere.
Key Takeaways
- Every DRA Dental treatment plan includes your Day 1 panoramic X-ray, named materials, WhatsApp aftercare, and guarantee terms where applicable, at no extra cost
- Accommodation and transfers are included in package deals (like smile design packages) but not in individually booked treatments, where they can be arranged on request
- The ten-year guarantee, covering crowns, veneers, and dental implants, is part of the price, not a paid add-on
- Third-party dental finance companies used by some clinics can add setup or interest fees on top of the headline price
- Ask for a written, itemised plan that specifies inclusions before you compare prices between clinics
What’s Included in Your DRA Dental Treatment Price
Every written treatment plan from DRA Dental includes the following as standard, not as optional extras:
- Your Day 1 panoramic X-ray and clinical assessment, which confirms or adjusts your remote estimate before any procedure begins
- Named materials, so you know exactly which implant brand or crown material is being used, not a vague description
- The relevant guarantee terms, in writing, before you pay anything
- WhatsApp aftercare, for any question about healing once you’re home
- A follow-up appointment within the guarantee period at no extra charge, for issues covered by your guarantee terms
This is confirmed as part of your written plan, not something you have to ask about or negotiate once you’ve already arrived.
The Ten-Year Guarantee Is Part of the Price, Not an Add-On
DRA Dental’s ten-year written guarantee covers zirconia crowns, E-max crowns, veneers, and dental implants, with composite bonding as the one exception. This is built into the price you’re quoted, not something sold separately or offered as an upgrade. Some clinics advertise a warranty as a headline feature while leaving out that it only applies to certain restorations, or that extending it costs extra. At DRA Dental, the guarantee scope for your specific treatment is written into your plan from the start.
Package Deals vs Individual Treatments: Where Accommodation Fits
This is one of the most common points of confusion when comparing prices between clinics, and between different treatment types at the same clinic.
- Package deals (such as a smile design package) include accommodation and transfers as part of the price.
- Individually booked treatments (a single implant, a course of teeth whitening, and similar) do not include accommodation, flights, or transfers by default, though these can be arranged on request.
Neither approach is hidden or unusual, but the distinction matters when you’re comparing a headline number from one clinic against another. A lower price on an individual treatment isn’t necessarily cheaper overall if you still need to book and pay for your own accommodation separately, and a package price that already includes your stay isn’t directly comparable to a per-treatment quote.
Priya, a 39-year-old from Birmingham, had been comparing a smile design package quote against a separate clinic’s per-veneer price, and initially assumed the per-veneer quote was better value. Once she asked both clinics directly whether accommodation was included, it turned out the package price covered her entire stay, while the per-veneer quote didn’t, once she factored in a week’s accommodation, the numbers were close to identical.
Fees That Catch Patients Out at Other Clinics
A few patterns are worth knowing about, even though they’re not part of how DRA Dental prices treatment:
- Third-party dental finance companies, used by some clinics to offer monthly instalments, can add setup fees or interest on top of the headline treatment price. DRA Dental’s own payment structure, covered in our payment plan guide, doesn’t route through a third party.
- Guarantee terms that aren’t specified until after you’ve paid, which makes it hard to know in advance what’s actually covered.
- Vague, undated “lifetime” claims that sound generous but don’t specify what voids them, covered in more detail in our dental warranty guide.
None of this means every clinic using these approaches is acting in bad faith, but it does mean the headline number alone isn’t enough to compare fairly.

What If My Plan Changes on Day 1?
Your remote estimate is based on photos and, where available, existing X-rays. Occasionally, the in-person Day 1 assessment reveals something that changes the plan, for example, a patient expecting a single implant may need a sinus lift first. When this happens, any change to cost is confirmed and explained before proceeding, never added afterward without warning. This is worth asking any clinic directly: what happens, and who decides, if your plan changes once you’re already there.
Practical Questions to Ask Before You Book Anywhere
A few direct questions make it much easier to compare prices fairly:
- Is accommodation included, or would I need to arrange and pay for it separately?
- Does the price include a written, itemised breakdown naming the specific materials used?
- What exactly does the guarantee cover, and is that written into the price or sold separately?
- If my plan changes after an in-person assessment, how and when will I be told about any cost change?
- Does payment go through the clinic directly, or through a third-party finance company with its own fees?
A clinic that answers these clearly, before you pay anything, is giving you a fair basis for comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is accommodation included in the price of dental treatment in Turkey?
It depends on the type of booking. Package deals, like a smile design package, include accommodation and transfers. Individually booked treatments don’t include them by default, but they can be arranged on request.
Is the guarantee included in the price, or is it an extra cost?
At DRA Dental, the guarantee is included as part of the price for covered treatments, crowns, veneers, and dental implants, not sold as a separate add-on.
Are there hidden fees I should watch for when comparing dental clinics in Turkey?
The most common ones are third-party finance company fees on instalment plans, guarantee terms that aren’t specified until after payment, and vague pricing that doesn’t name the materials used. Asking for a written, itemised plan upfront avoids most of these.
What happens if my treatment plan changes once I’m at the clinic?
Any change discovered during your Day 1 assessment, and any resulting cost adjustment, is explained and confirmed before your treatment proceeds, not added afterward.
Does DRA Dental use a third-party finance company for payments?
No. Payment is made directly, without routing through a third-party finance company or its associated fees.
Where is DRA Dental Clinic located?
DRA Dental Clinic is located in Kundu, Lara Beach, Antalya, Turkey.

A Realistic Picture
The clearest way to compare dental treatment prices, in Turkey or anywhere else, is to look past the headline number and ask what’s actually named in writing: materials, guarantee scope, accommodation, and what happens if anything changes. At DRA Dental, all of that is part of your treatment plan from the start, not something you have to ask about separately.
